I honestly think it is a stupid idea.

Is it going to get people vaccinated? No.

These tests comes out of my taxes.

I mean, rapid tests are not great, and we probably shouldn't encourage people to act on the basis of their results.

How are they not great? Its a numbers game and even though its not perfect its still an important part of the puzzle.

The administration is doing just that, except they're making people fill out paperwork to be reimbursed for it

Why is she being attack for this? The vaccine is free and available to everyone. Thats far more important than an at home test that these idiots wouldnt even do correctly. There are still several places that offer free testing. I dont see why it would have to be done at home. Just seems like an overall waste of money. Go get the fuckin vaccine.

It really is, moreover different states have different testing companies. There is not a universal testing system and it would be silly to build this now with the pushback we will get from red states. There is a bigger fight to have, and that is making sure people are vaccinated.

Because its good to know whether you or someone in your household has covid without exposing anyone else.


A rapid at home test is not reliable and isn't going to be contact traced like from a facility that specailizes in it. Plus testing is already free at testing sites.

The idea they're putting into place is much more stupid, though, and doesn't have the benefit of helping everybody who wants it.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/12/03/how-to-get-the-free-at-home-covid-tests-promised-by-white-house-.html

again, there is plenty of free testing options available. Not only are the rapid tests not perfect/contact traced, but you already know those who most need to be sure (unvaccinated) wont do it or wont do it properly.

Read the article; the ones being talked about there are only available to those with private insurance (and only free for those willing to be patient for reimbursement)

Is it? I'm fully vaccinated, waiting on my booster, and really would like some semblance of peace of mind from assholes coughing on me all day long with no mask. I don't have time to schedule constant covid tests at Walgreens or CVS and the testing facility has a 2 hour wait.

Waste of money and she knows it. We're like 2 whole years late to be mapping out this idea.

Just get the motherfucking vaccine and be done with it.

They have pretty low sensitivity. A negative doesn't really mean negative, particularly in asymptomatic people.

You can really tell who's been sheltered when they think you can just walk up to tons of easy free testing everywhere with no nonsense like this attached.

The worst at home rapid tests were 85% accurate, just to put a number on it.

And the useful thing to do is to schedule a PCR test.

The Biden admin is making rapid tests, not the PCR ones, part of their public response to the Omicron variant.

Would it have been more or less stupid to at least not make people go through insurance hoops to acquire those tests?

I'm saying that's a nonissue because the rapid tests aren't a good solution.

Accuracy is the wrong measurement. The antigen tests have high specificity but low sensitivity. Average looks okay, but the issue is sensitivity.
